I installed Ubuntu13_desktop in VMware(VMware® Workstation 7.1.6) based with Windows 7. Now I want to connect to Ubuntu from Windows 7. Set the WMware as Host-only. Installed WinSCP in Windows, configured 

protocol: SFTP;
Host name: ubuntu;
Port: 22;
UserName: oracle;
Password: ***.

Clicked Login, it showed

Searching for host...
Connection to host...
Authenticating...
Using username "oracle"
Authenticating with pre-entered password.
Access denied.
Access denied.

I can succeed to ping Ubuntu by cmd.

Can anyone help me to let me access Ubuntu by WinSCP? Thanks in advance.

Well the port 22 is for SSH service. So you can probably try installing openssh-server in your ubuntu by typing

sudo apt-get install openssh-server

and then try connecting with the following details:

protocol: SSH

hostname: [IP Address of the computer]

port: 22

username: [username]

password: [password]

Hopefully this should work.
